Sebuah ponsel mid-range dengan harga sekitar Rp6.900.000 yang dilengkapi fitur premium, seperti Nothing Phone 3a Pro, mungkin terlihat mengesankan. Tapi yang jauh lebih baik adalah ponsel yang lebih terjangkau namun menawarkan banyak fitur yang sama — seperti Nothing Phone, yang akan hadir bersamaan dengan versi Pro-nya. Perbedaan utama antara Nothing Phone 3a standar dan versi Pro terletak pada sistem kameranya. Yang menarik, Nothing Phone 3a Pro dilengkapi dengan lensa zoom khusus, yang luar biasa untuk ponsel di bawah Rp6.000.000. Tapi akankah spesifikasi yang mengesankan berarti ponsel ini benar-benar hebat? Itulah yang akan dibahas dalam ulasan ini, dengan fokus pada seberapa besar nilai yang diberikan Nothing dengan perangkat yang terjangkau dan dirancang untuk bersaing dengan ponsel budget terbaik di bawah Rp7.000.000.

Ulasan Nothing Phone 3a: Desain dan Fitur

What's with the Blade Runner phone?" my daughter asked when she caught sight of the Nothing Phone 3a on my desk, and if you don't speak Teenager, she meant it as a compliment. Outside of recent Google Pixel phones, you won't find many handsets that look anything like the ones Nothing produces with the lit-up glyphs and swooping lines on a phone that looks a lot more stylish than a $379 device has any right to be.

To my eye, the glyph patterns on the back of the white Nothing Phone 3a make it look like I took it out of the box before it was fully assembled. (In addition to white, U.S. shoppers can also opt for a black version of the phone.) My daughter finds the design much cooler, and I don't think it's too easy to guess which demographic Nothing is hoping to target.

I do think the camera module is a little plain compared to the circular array found on the Nothing Pro 3a. There's a circle on the standard 3a's cameras, true, but it's really just a raised strip of three vertical lenses, which means the phone won't lie flatly on a table.

Nothing Phone 3a menawarkan konstruksi yang kokoh dengan tingkat ketahanan air IP64, meningkat dari tingkat IP54 pada model sebelumnya. Meskipun mampu menahan cipratan air dari berbagai arah, ponsel ini tidak dirancang untuk sepenuhnya tenggelam dalam air seperti beberapa pesaing dengan tingkat IP67, yang dapat direndam dalam air. Salah satu aspek desain yang perlu diperhatikan adalah penempatan Tombol Essential yang baru, sebuah tombol untuk mengambil tangkapan layar dan memo suara, yang mendukung fitur perangkat lunak baru. Terletak di bawah tombol daya—tempat yang biasanya diperkirakan sebagai posisi tombol daya—hal ini menyebabkan beberapa tangkapan tak sengaja saat mencoba mematikan ponsel. Namun, seiring penggunaan berkelanjutan, kejadian seperti ini kemungkinan akan berkurang seiring saya semakin terbiasa dengan penempatannya.

Ulasan Nothing Phone 3a: Fitur Layar dan Performa

You get plenty of screen with the Nothing Phone 3a, as Nothing uses a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with a refresh rate that ranges between 30Hz and 120Hz depending on your on-screen activity.

It also happens to be the brightest screen Nothing's ever used, according to the phone maker, which claims a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.

We didn't get close to that number when we measured the screen's brightness with a light meter. Using our standard set up, we recorded a maximum brightness of 1,194 nits, and fiddling around with different instruments, we got a reading as high as 1,370 nits.

It should be noted that most peak brightness metrics are recorded under conditions you're unlikely to experience in the real world. And the numbers we were able to measure were in line with the 1,350 nits we measured on the Pixel 8a.

The bottom line is that in daily usage, I never had a problem seeing the Nothing Phone 3a's display, even when it was bright and sunny out. And I certainly didn't need to crank up the brightness to make out details on the screen.

In its default setting, the Nothing Phone 3a captured more of the sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts than either the Nothing Phone 2a it's replacing or the Pixel 8a it's hoping to go up against.

The Pixel 8a's Delta-E reading of 0.24 suggests more accurate colors than the Nothing Phone 3a and its 0.29 rating, but switch to standard mode, and color accuracy improves dramatically on Nothing's device. (Numbers closer zero mean more accurate colors.)

Certainly, whether I was watching "Real Pain" or the "Fantastic Four: First Steps" trailer, everything looked colorful and bright, even from different viewing angles. I also appreciated the sound quality emanating from the stereo speakers on either end of the phone.

Ulasan Nothing Phone 3a: Fitur Kamera dan Performa

The cameras on low-cost phones aren't usually the thing I'm looking forward to trying out first since that's the area where a lot of midrange and budget devices cut corners in an effort to keep a lid on prices.

You can't accuse Nothing of that practice, though, as the Nothing Phone 3a includes a dedicated telephoto camera. No, it's not the periscope-style lens found on the Nothing Phone 3a Pro, but show me another sub-$400 phone with this kind of setup. The iPhone 16e, which costs $220 more than the 3a, only gives you one rear camera for crying out loud.

The telephoto lens — a 50MP sensor that supports a 2x optical zoom — is one of three rear cameras. Joining the party are a 50MP main lens and an 8MP ultrawide camera. A 32MP front camera handles selfie duties.

Since I just finished reviewing the Moto G Power (2025), I used that phone for camera comparisons with the Nothing Phone 3a, even though the former camera phone offers a macro sensor instead of a telephoto camera.

That said, the Power costs just $80 less than the Nothing Phone 3a, so I want to see if there's a noticeable difference thanks to Nothing's more impressive hardware and its TrueLens 3.0 photo processing engine. I'm also looking as to whether the Nothing Phone 3a's output can compare to what you'd get from the less expensive entries on our best camera phone list.

This image of a frittata looks very good when handled by the Nothing Phone 3a. You get a balance of both warm colors — as seen on the frittata itself — juxtaposed against the cooler blues of the blueberries in the background.

The text on my coffee mug looks a little softer in the Nothing Phone's shot, with the Moto G Power producing sharper edges. Still, I really can't find fault with the Nothing Phone 3a here.

When reviewing the Moto G Power, I found that it turned out decent pictures in friendly conditions, but quality dipped as the lighting dropped. You can see that happening in this public artwork shot on a cloudy, drizzly day where the Moto photo looks lost in a shadow. The Nothing Phone 3a doesn't fall in that trap, keeping everything bright and colorful, especially that oversized red Adirondack chair in the background.

I was generally impressed with how the Nothing Phone 3a performed in low lighting. Take this shot of some flags right before sunset. There's some blur around the edges of the California and U.S. flags, which were getting whipped around a bit in the wind, but the colors look good, even with the diminishing light in the sky.

Speaking of the sky, the Nothing Phone 3a does a very good job highlighting the purple clouds of the sunset, a detail that's overly dark in the Moto G Power photo.

Not every photo shot in dark conditions by the Nothing Phone 3a turned out well. The Nothing Phone's photo of some skeleton decorations in my unlit basement pumps more lighting into the sene than the Moto G Power manages.

But that's at the expense of sharpness — the skeletons have more refined edges in the Motorola photo, even if a lot of those are covered in shadow.

Sebagian besar foto malam hari yang saya ambil dengan Nothing Phone 3a hasilnya cukup baik, termasuk foto di luar bar lokal di mana distorsi di sekitar bohlam gantung cukup minimal. Kamera mampu menangkap gambar yang cerah dan berwarna-warni dengan kejernihan yang tetap terjaga bahkan saat memperbesar melebihi batas 2x secara optik, seperti pada menara jam di mana wajahnya tampak lebih cerah dan tajam. Namun, mode potret kurang mengesankan; Nothing Phone 3a mengalami kesulitan dengan overekspos dan akurasi warna, terutama pada warna kulit, jika dibandingkan dengan ponsel anggaran lain. Kamera depan tampil lebih baik, dengan warna kulit yang lebih hangat dan warna latar belakang yang lebih akurat, menjadikannya pilihan yang kuat untuk selfie. Secara keseluruhan, Nothing Phone 3a secara konsisten mengungguli banyak ponsel anggaran dan menunjukkan potensi dalam kemampuan kameranya, terutama dalam kondisi pencahayaan yang baik. Pengujian lebih lanjut dengan model yang lebih tinggi akan membantu menentukan keunggulan kompetitifnya, tetapi hasil awal ini cukup menjanjikan.

Ulasan Nothing Phone 3a: Performa dan Fitur

Alih-alih menggunakan chip MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro tahun lalu, Nothing Phone 3a kini mengusung prosesor Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. Ini adalah versi yang sedikit kurang bertenaga dari chipset Snapdragon 7 standar dari Qualcomm, yang terlihat dari peningkatan performa yang modest saat pengujian CPU. Dalam tes single-core Geekbench, Nothing Phone 3a mendapatkan skor 1.165, sekitar 5% lebih tinggi dibanding pendahulunya, Nothing Phone 2a. Performa multi-core meningkat sebesar 27%, mencapai skor 3.288.

Hasil ini mengungguli perangkat seperti Moto G Power (2025) yang menggunakan MediaTek Dimensity 6300, meskipun Pixel 8a yang lebih mahal tetap menawarkan performa yang lebih baik. Dalam pengujian grafis 3D dengan 3DMark Wild Life Unlimited, Nothing Phone 3a meraih 25,1 fps, hampir sama dengan 25,5 fps dari model sebelumnya. Meski beberapa kritikus menyebut grafis di game tertentu di Nothing Phone 2a tampak kasar, saya menemukan PUBG Mobile berjalan dengan lancar di 3a. Performa grafisnya juga jauh lebih baik dibanding Moto G Power yang hanya mampu mencapai 8,1 fps.

Secara keseluruhan, Nothing Phone 3a bukanlah ponsel kelas atas yang luar biasa, tetapi menawarkan performa harian yang solid dengan harga di bawah 4 juta rupiah. Dalam pengalaman saya, ponsel ini mampu menangani tugas sehari-hari dengan efisien tanpa masalah, menjadikannya pilihan yang dapat diandalkan bagi kebanyakan pengguna.

Ulasan Nothing Phone 3a: Daya Tahan Baterai dan Performa Pengisian Daya

Nothing Phone 3a dilengkapi dengan baterai berkapasitas 5.000 mAh yang kompak, dengan peningkatan efisiensi berkat prosesor Snapdragon terbaru. Dalam pengujian daya tahan baterai kami, yang melibatkan penelusuran web melalui jaringan seluler dengan layar diatur ke 150 nits hingga daya habis, Nothing Phone 3a mampu bertahan selama mengesankan selama 15 jam 24 menit. Angka ini sedikit lebih baik dibandingkan model sebelumnya, Nothing Phone 2a. Kedua ponsel tersebut menggunakan tingkat penyegaran adaptif secara default selama pengujian.

Meskipun Nothing Phone 3a mengungguli rata-rata ponsel pintar dalam pengujian ini sekitar 5 jam, perangkat ini belum masuk dalam daftar perangkat dengan daya tahan baterai terlama. Smartphone modern dirancang untuk bertahan lebih lama dari sebelumnya, dengan model-model terbaik mencapai lebih dari 16 jam dalam pengujian ini—contohnya seperti Moto G Power (2025) yang mampu melewati 17 jam.

Pengisian daya Nothing Phone 3a pun cepat dan efisien berkat dukungan pengisian cepat 50W, meningkat dari model sebelumnya yang 45W. Setelah hanya 30 menit pengisian, perangkat dapat diisi dari kondisi habis hingga sekitar 72% kapasitas, sehingga sangat praktis untuk penggunaan sehari-hari.

Ulasan Nothing Phone 3a: Fitur perangkat lunak dan performa

Nothing's new phones feature the company's Nothing OS 3.1, which is built on Android 15. As before, you get a very distinctive interface that I feel confident in saying looks like no other implementation of Android on mobile devices.

If you're a devoted Nothing phone user, there's nothing here to surprise you, but if this will be your first time seeing the dot-matrix style font and interpreting the circular icons to figure out what app you're summoning, there's a bit of a learning curve involved. Certainly Nothing OS is an acquired test, and I'm not sure that I've fully acquired it in my time with the phone.

Another new feature that will take some getting used to is the Essential Space capability that's tied to the Essential Key I mentioned earlier. Essential Space is a place for storing whatever you capture with that key, whether it's a screenshot (one press of the button) or a voice memo to capture an idea on the fly (a long press).

Remember to keep pressing that button as you're recording your thoughts, or the recording will stop. When your done with the recording, the Essential Space feature will use AI to transcribe it. AI also provides a quick summary of any screenshots you've taken with the Essential Key. And you can organize related screenshots into folders, making Essential Space a valuable research tool.

Saya sering secara tidak sengaja menekan Tombol Esensial, yang menyebabkan tangkapan layar tak disengaja di Essential Space yang harus saya hapus. Saya menghargai upaya untuk mengintegrasikan AI ke dalam aplikasi ini, tetapi saya membutuhkan waktu lebih untuk melihat apakah cara pengorganisasian ide-idenya cocok dengan alur kerja saya. Misalnya, saya berharap ada opsi untuk membuat dan mengedit catatan langsung di dalam Essential Space, tetapi fitur ini belum tersedia di versi awal saat ini.

Mengenai pembaruan, perangkat ini menjanjikan tiga tahun pembaruan Android dan enam tahun patch keamanan, yang cukup mengesankan untuk kisaran harganya. Dibandingkan dengan itu, beberapa ponsel lain seperti Moto G Power (2025) hanya menjamin tiga tahun pembaruan keamanan dan dua pembaruan OS Android. Sementara itu, model terbaru seperti Galaxy A36 dan A26 menawarkan hingga enam tahun pembaruan perangkat lunak dan keamanan, jadi perangkat ini tidak sepenuhnya menjadi yang terdepan di bidang ini, tetapi tetap memberikan dukungan yang baik.

Ulasan Nothing Phone 3a: Putusan dan Analisis

The Nothing Phone 3a turns out to be as solid a device in practice as its impressive spec sheet would have you believe. For $379, you get a long-lasting phone with a unique design and a gorgeous display. The cameras produce consistently high-quality shots, and you can even zoom in on subjects with a dedicated telephoto lens — a feature a lot of competing devices can't offer.

There are nits worth picking. The Essential Space feature is promising, but needs a little bit more polish to become an integral part of your digital life. I would have liked to see bigger performance gains over the Nothing Phone 2a. And there's no ignoring the fact that, in the U.S. anyhow, it's a little more complicated getting a Nothing Phone 3a than it would be a device from more established phone makers.

On that last point, though, the Nothing Phone 3a is worth the effort to track down. It's hard to find a phone with a better value-to-price ratio, which is pretty impressive given how feature-rich a lot of midrange phones are becoming. But even those devices will have a hard time measuring up against the latest phones from Nothing.
